I think the aftermarket auto warranty was an ingenious idea.  Imagine now that you do not have to settle for the warranty coverage your car dealer offers you with your vehicle purchase.  I could upgrade my warranty coverage, so to speak, by simply buying an aftermarket auto warranty with the coverage that I did not have before.  In fact, now I can turn my basic limited warranty coverage package for my car into a fully comprehensive one! 

And in addition to being able to extend the coverage on my vehicle, I am also able to extend the warranty life of my coverage in general by purchasing the aftermarket auto warranty!  Now it is quite true that if my car warranty is due to expire in a couple of months that it will expire.  But by purchasing an aftermarket auto warranty while my existing warranty is valid, I am able to ensure that my vehicle coverage is constant – that as soon as one becomes void the other ‘kicks in’ so to speak! 

Purchasing an aftermarket auto warranty would also allow me the benefit of extending the mileage coverage of my vehicle.  Some aftermarket warranties do in fact allow mileage coverage of up to one hundred thousand miles – of course though that is dependent on the condition of your vehicle at the time of the purchase.
